Re: Engine-less

Right that's it when I get my boat, the first thing I do will be to remove the engine entirely... none of this auxillery nonsense for me/forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Never a Securite

If they weren't able to sail into sheltered water and anchor or pick up a buoy without being a hazard to other vessels they shouldn't have been out there in the first place.

Period.

Re: urely a Securite

Why not try to berth under sail? Because many of us have to travel up some creek full of moorings to get to a marina, then once you're in the marina the berth might not be right for sailing onto. I don't think my insurer would think much of it if I clouted a couple of boats in a narrow creek while trying to sail onto a berth with a perfectly good engine under the sole.

Re: urely a Securite

Why not get the RNLI to ask the insurance company to pay for any 'rescue' due to these simple problems where life & limb are not 'at risk'. Surely everyone these days is insured, particularly if marina berthed.

Re: urely a Securite

If you always sail on and off your mooring/berth, when do you charge your batteries?

Bunting tossing

Ponapay has a Walker log, a lead sounder, paraffin lamps and only eats bully beef and long life bread. If he sailed in the Solent he'd need to know what is semaphore for 'can I have a radio check please?' Seriously I can predict his answer if he sails where the sun shines - a photovoltaic panel
